Important Viisitors

Guy and Lucy arrived on Friday evening as part of their 'European Tour'.  They had spent 3 days in Paris, came down to us by train and were welcomed to Gourdon in a typical French way ... their train was delayed for an hour because locals, protesting against planned closures at the station, were on the tracks to stop the rail trafffic!
It is Lucy's first visit to France and so we're trying to give her an exposure to French rural life in 3 days.  Yestereday started with a 'typical' French market (at Cahors) ...

a French lunch (with knife and fork and not chopsticks) ... then on to a chateaux for a tour and explanation of the winemaking process, complete with wine-tasting.

The day's instructive activities were finished with a visit to a typical French supermarket to see how the French shop and to buy some local delicacies.
